31 - 34 GORDON SQ. / 14 TAVITON & 16 TAVITON
STREET (SSEES)
31 - 34 Gordon Sq. and 14 Taviton Street are one interconnected building for the purposes of the fire evacuation strategy, linked in an ‘ L ’ shape running west/east along
Gordon Sq. and north along Taviton Street. 14 Taviton Street is connected to the School of Slavonic & East European
Studies (SSEES) at 16 Taviton Street at its north end by a shared fire escape route ( Stair C ), which is used by occupants of both 14 Taviton St & SSEES Bldgs. Therefore,
SSEES fire alarm system is interfaced with 31-34 Gordon Sq.
& 14 Taviton St so that activation of a device in any one of the premises will evacuate all three buildings at once; the Fire
Brigade is directed to the address originating the fire alarm device activation (See attached plans).

DISABLED OCCUPANTS / FIRE ALARM PLANNING
On activation of the Fire Alarm, it is recommended that SFEMs/Staff designated to help Disabled Persons establish from the main fire alarm panel in the reception, which building fire alarm has activated by looking at the zone number and building address. Note the building fire zones are indentified as follows :
•
Fire Zones 1 - 10 = IoA at 31 -34 Gordon Sq
•
Fire Zones 11 - 19 = Anthropology at 14 Taviton Street
•
Fire Zone 20 = SSEES Bldg (16 Taviton Street)

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS OR RELEVANT INFORMATION FOR THE :
Fire Alarm
Panels
The Institute of Archaeology’s fire alarm panel is mounted in the ground floor entrance behind the reception desk and is physically interlinked with the Department of Anthropology’s (14 Taviton St) and SSEES (16 Taviton St) fire alarm panels. This arrangement provides simultaneously fire evacuation, but separate building address information ( fire brigade will be directed to whichever building has initiated the fire alarm signal ) and panel enabling the controls for each building.
Senior Fire Evacuation Marshals (SFEMs) therefore, should check the Fire Alarm
Zone indication on their fire alarm panel to establish if the fire alarm has originated from their part of the building.
•
If originated the fire alarm then the IoA SFEM must meet the fire brigade on arrival at Gordon Sq. entrance and liaise with the SFEMs of the Dept of Anthropology & SSEES, as necessary.
•
If originated the fire alarm then the
Anthropology SFEM must meet the fire brigade on arrival at 14 Taviton
Street Entrance and liaise with the SFEMs of the IoA / SSEES, as necessary.
•
If originated the fire alarm then the SFEM must meet the fire brigade on arrival at 16 Taviton Street and liaise with the SFEMs of the IoA & Anthropology, as necessary.
Under no circumstances must occupants of these buildings return to, or re-enter their part of the building until the Senior Fire Brigade Officer has closed the incident and allowed occupants back into the building – SFEMs are to control entry to their part of the building until the incident is terminated.
RESETTING THE FIRE ALARM PANELS (SFEMS PLEASE NOTE) - 31 -34
Gordon Sq. & 14 Taviton Street are the same system, which will reset from either panel. However, in all cases the SSEES Panel in the entrance to 16 Taviton Street
MUST BE RESET SEPARATELY before all 3 building fire alarm systems are reset fully by Maintenance Staff/Fire Brigade, so has not to activate again unnecessarily.
Fire
Evacuation
Marshals
(FEM) -
Liaison
It is vital that the FEMs from both the Institute of Archaeology (IoA), Department of
Anthropology & SSEES liaise to ensure that they work together when dealing with a fire incident. This is particularly important as the fire alarm panels are networked in all three buildings to activate all at once, although the fire brigade will proceed to the building that originated the fire alarm.
Fire Brigade
Liaison
Senior Evacuation Marshals (SFEMs) to meet the Fire Brigade on arrival and give all reasonable assistance to the Senior Fire Brigade Officer in attendance.
SFEMs will need to be self-reliant when dealing with a fire incident.

ALARM
THE FIRE
ALARM
SYSTEM
Dial Ext: 222 on a UCL Internal Extension and report the fire (if you are unsure of your location use the Building Reference number to assist in identifying the premises, which is shown on the UCL Fire
Action Notices).
This building’s fire alarm system is monitored on a 24-hour basis by the UCL Security Control Room who will summon the Fire Brigade.
However, you should always make an Emergency Telephone call
(Ext: ‘222’) to raise the alarm.
On hearing the fire alarm, immediately leave the building by the nearest available fire exit (this may not necessarily be the way you entered the building).
(1). This building is equipped with a single stage addressable fire alarm system. Which when activated, emits a continuous electronic two-tone alarm throughout the building.
(2). Automatic Fire Detection (AFD) – smoke & heat detecting devices are provided for early warning to Life 2 (L2) Standard.
(3). Fire alarm ‘ Manual Call Points’ are found on routes leading from the building (including corridors, landings, staircases & final exits).

MECHANISMS
On hearing the alarm or being directed by a Fire Evacuation Marshal
(FEM), all occupants are to evacuate the building by the nearest available escape stair, corridor or exit route to the Final Exit . If your escape route is blocked or obstructed by fire or smoke, you should turn your back on the fire and follow the alternative route from the building by following the green safe condition fire safety direction signage provided .
On leaving the building you should proceed to the Fire Assembly
Point ; the location of the Fire Assembly Point(s) is indicated on the local Fire Action Notices provided, which may also be supplemented with additional information such as local escape route plans etc. Do not obstruct the building entrances as this may hinder access to the fire brigade crews & appliances. Beware of the road traffic and your and others safety during the evacuation!
Where fitted doors forming part of the Means of Escape (MoE) may be provided with Electromagnetic Security Locks (Cardex):
(1). Generally releasing on Activation of the Fire Alarm System, (but there are some exceptions to this arrangement).
(2). Each door is provided with an independent ‘break glass’ emergency release device (green box) on the direction of escape that should be broken to release the door in an emergency (or if the fire alarm has not activate).

Emergency escape lighting is provided in large &/or specific rooms, all corridors and stair enclosures to illuminate safely the escape routes from the premises in the event of a ‘Local Lighting Circuit’ failure ( they do not illuminate on the fire alarm sounding ). In addition, illuminated directional escape signage may also be provided.
Fire fighting equipment is strategically placed throughout the building in accordance with the hazards identified. Only use fire-fighting equipment if you have been specifically trained and it is safe for you to do so; and you are confident that you are using the most appropriate fire extinguisher on the correct type fire. Do not use water on electrical or flammable liquid fires!
Due to the size and complexity of UCL, it is neither practical nor feasible to maintain a meaningful register of building occupants to account for those persons using premises during normal working hours. It is UCL policy that all Heads of Departments shall designate sufficient staff to act as Fire Evacuation Marshals
(FEMs) , who in the event of a fire or incident will check their areas of responsibility. FEMs will request politely but firmly that all staff, students and visitors evacuate the building immediately by the nearest available fire exit route, they may assist with Disabled
Persons and liaise with the Fire Brigade, as necessary.

(SFEM)
The Head of Department must appoint a suitable member of staff in each building that the Department occupies, to become a Senior Fire

(1). liaise (if a multi-occupied building) with other SFEMs to ensure assistance to the Fire Brigade, Duty Security and Estates staff during normal working hours etc,
(2). co-ordinate the Departmental FEMs, or others such as the
Landlord’s agents and/or other occupiers as necessary,
(3). provide specialist information to the Fire Brigade and the Local
Authorities on any specific hazards related to the premises; particularly, where there are laboratories or hazardous substances or processes used etc,
(4). identify themselves to the Fire Brigade and other persons in authority by wearing a Surcoat or by a coloured safety helmet (Red) or some other distinguishing marker,
(5). be self-reliant when dealing with a fire incident at the premises.
Therefore, it is important that SFEMs meet the Fire Brigade on arrival at the building entrance to ensure that they give all reasonable assistance to the Senior Fire Brigade Officer in attendance.
